TO WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN: 4

Be it known thatI, JOHN REINIG, of Fond 1du Lac, in the county ot' Fonddu Lac, and State of Wiseonl sin, have invented a. new andusei'ulImprovement in I-Iangcrs for Attaching Eave's-lronghs;` and I do declarethat the following is n true-and accurate description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, and being a. partof this specification.

The drawing shows very fully the nature of thisinventon, which isdesigned to be used as a very simple, effective, convenient, andinexpensivedevice for attaching eaves-troughs lte buildings.

In order to accomplishthis end, I construct, from any suitable metal,thelianger shown in the drawings,V

provided with plate A, for attaching or fastening the same, to thebuilding, bent from an inclined to a vertical position at I3; then bentat right angles at VC, and bent again at D thence passing around theeavestrough, and

bent in suitable form to conform to the same, to the top and front ofsaid trough; `then bent again at E, ahd still again at F, to :t verticalposition parallelwith that part of the same extending from the plate A.

Through the two parts resting against and vertically parallel with eachother, I drill or punch a hole, for the insertion of a boltand nut, G.

To use thishanger, fasten, in anysuitahle-way, the plate A to the roof,and loosen, or partially unscrew,

the nutupon the holt, slip in the eaves-trough, (shown in red lines inthe drawing,) and fasten cr tighten said nut, andthe eaves-trough willbe firmly held in the desired position.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,isyIhe construction of a hanger, for the purpose described, whenconstructed of one pieceot` metal, bent in such form as to conform tothe shape of the eaves-trough, and provided with bolt and nut G,substantially as herein ldescribed and set forth.

JOHN REINIG.
